I did set up the play list and I did arrange it when I set it up. It is now not working. I must have done something. Thanks for the suggestion. still need HELP.
Did you read Zevoneer's post correctly, specifically the very first sentence where he says *"Open the playlist and click on the number column (extreme left)."*
You must do this before songs within a playlist can be re-ordered.

Cannot drag songs from my music library to new playlist, nor re-arrange old playlists

OK. I have read a lot of old posts (2008-09) with the same problem with older versions, but I have a new iMac running 10.6 and iTunes 10.5.2 and I cannot drag songs from my library to a new playlist I've created. And now I cannot change the play order within a playlist. I have contacted Apple and they couldn't help me either. I even talked to a supervisor. He was stumpped. It looks like a bug has infected the system. I have an older iMac and iTunes on the same network, but it doesn't have the same prioblem. I believe if it works, don't update.
I have tried all the tricks I could find to work around this and no change.
This is so frustrating that a simple, but blessed manuver that I have loved is now broke.
Help!

"ok and how exactly do i do that? "
Type "move itunes library" into the google search bar.
Did you fail to maintain a backup? That is not good.

My phone wont sync a new playlist

Since i updated to the new iox my phone wont sync with new playlists. how do i do it? need it done by midnight!

If you are syncing manually, you'll need to manually drag this playlist over and onto your iPhone from under Devices in the left hand pane of iTunes.
Apps can not be managed manually. You'll need configure them to sync to your iPod. See this article for more instructions and information.

My ipod touch 2 no longer recognizes or syncs new playlists from my computer. But it does takes the playlists from the ipod and syncs to the computer. This is a reverse process - what am I doing wrong? It always synced the correct way in the past.

Why doesn't my ipod touch 2 recognize or sync new playlists from my computer? It did in the past, but now the syncing process goes in reverse; the
playlists on the ipod touch 2 sync to my computer!

Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

I cannot sync new playlists from iTunes PC to my iPhone

I have read through many Apple support topics and how-tos, I have tried everything I can to get iTunes to copy over/ sync new playlists from my PC. Doesn't matter if I select manual choosing of music, or select individual playlists, update my preferences, or drag the playlists over to the iPhone... every single time I try syncing the result is that those new playlists NEVER APPEAR on my iphone. I do usb syncing, wifi syncing... nothing will work.
This is incredibly frustrating!! Now I understand why so many of my friends are just giving up on Apple products.
Why does such a SIMPLE process not work???

Apples update to iPhoto 11 (9.4.1) seems to have corrected the probem! I can selectively sync photo albums and events again. If anyone else is having the problem update to 9.4.1 !

New iTunes doesn't let me fill a new playlist with songs off an iPod

THIS USED TO WORK ON OLDER VERSIONS OF ITUNES. I own an ipod Shuffle. Sometimes iTunes Autofills my Shuffle with a cool mix of songs from my iTunes library. I want to make that new set of songs into a new playlist in my iTunes. I used to be able to do this by simply: (1) create a new playlist in iTunes, (2) select all the songs on my Shuffle, (3) drag the songs from my Shuffle on to the new playlist's icon.
Sometimes, I won't use the Autofill feature and I will manually drop songs from my Library into my Shuffle. I'll drop a couple songs on to my Shuffle each day. Over the course of a month, I will have slowly built up a set of songs of all my current favorites on my ipod shuffle. Well, of course, I'd like to make all those songs on my Shuffle into a new playlist in iTunes, so I can "preserve" the set of songs I spent weeks building up. Again, I used to be able to do this very easily, but for some reason, in the latest version of iTunes, I can not drag and drop songs from my Shuffle into a playlist.
Let me make clear, I own all this music and all the songs on my Shuffle are already in my Library on my Macbook. This is a matter of creating PLAYLISTS from whatever songs are on my Shuffle at any given time. PLEASE BRING BACK THIS CAPABILITY.

Turn your phone off, then force it into recovery mode & restore it:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
Make sure you have no anti-virus software running or any firewalls...turn all of that stuff off.

I can't access my new playlist on my iPhone 4s when using iTunes Match

I recently spent 5 hours combing through my entire digital music collection to compile a playlist of all the songs I want to hear right now. It is 696 songs and 1.7 days long. Both my iTunes on my computer and my iPhone 4s have the latest version of the available software. I cannot see or listen to my new playlist on my iPhone. I have done the following (with no success):
1) I have updated iTunes Match.
2) I have powered off and powered on my iPhone
3) I have disable and re-enabled Match on my iPhone.
4) I have disable Match on my iPhone, connected my iPhone to my computer via a USB cord, transfered my playlist that way, then re-enabled Match on my iPhone. Still, I do not have access to my playlist. While this did have the desired the affect of putting the playlist on my iPhone, I then could not download the songs that were in the playlist onto my iPhone without Match or performing the laborous task of transfering each song individually via the USB cord. Not to mention the fact that I play for Match and expect it to work.
5) I have disabled Match on my iPhone, powered off and powered on my iPhone. Then, I re-enabled Match on my iPhone.
None of these actions have resulted in the desired occurance. I have read through the community and when I find someone who said they have fixed the problem, the person either has a minimal grasp of the English language and I do not understand that person or I have already completed the action that the person recommends.
I feel as though, since I pay for this service, that iTunes, i.e. Apple, should address my problem directly, rather than rely on the support of a community of people who are up the same creek, lacking a tool for forward momentum.
I somewhat feel as though I, and all others in a like-situation, should receive a refund for Match or, at the very least, some sort of compensation for time during which it has caused problems.
Additionally, I refuse to ever purchase an apple product again. They are not the company of quality that they used to be and we are all now just paying top dollar for an subpar product.

Additionally, when trouble shooting, and you disable iTunes Match on an iOS device you cannot simply re-enable it immediately. You must launch the Music app and let the content clear out before re-enabling the service.

Mystery- how has my old nano been updated with my new playlists in iTunes when I haven't synced it?

I got given a 2gb nano in 2005, which I filled up with imported cd music, not wanting an Apple account and not wanting to pay for music that I already have on cd (was in music industry for years, and like to own the physical product rather than a download that then needs backing up). Anway, lovely bf has bought me a 7th gen 160gb pod for Xmas, so I was merrily organising playlists and preparing to load the whole 45gb of music onto my new shiny ipod. Got my old nano out yesterday, and found that all the playlists that were there have been replaced by the first few new playlists I've made in iTunes. I am not using Match, or thieving Cloud, and I haven't had the nano anywhere near the computer for the last 3 or 4 years! I don't remember registering the nano with Apple, but the new one has definitely been registered (several conversations with Apple because Amazon sent us a "new" iPod that had already been opened, language and clock set to Australian time (the London clock said 9.47pm YESTERDAY), and replaced it with another "new" one with the same issues (replacement hadn't even been shrinkwrapped, just the bare and slightly battered box).
Is this something that the cloud has done? And if so, how come it's done it to my baby nano, and not to the new Classic 160gb? It means it ran out of space, so effectively it's wiped off all the music that has been on there for years, and replaced it with as much as it could fit on, working from the top of the playlist list........
Having read about how the cloud nicks things and won't let you access them if you disconnect from cloud (not that I'm aware of having connected to the **** thing anyway), I'm now going to have to do a back up so that when I tell cloud to bog off, I can still copy any missing music back into iTunes.
Has anyone got an explanation for how my nano's content has been changed without me doing anything except changing my playlists in iTunes, and has it happened to anyone else?
Also, why did nobody at Apple stop to thing that "pushing" data to all your Apple devices is bound to cause problems when each device's capacity is so different from the others? My iPad is the first and small one (32gb I think), the nano is 2gb, my new Pod is 160gb, and what's in iTunes is 35gb. It's also tried to put my music library onto the iPad, announced there wasn't room (I had already selectively downloaded some music on to it when I got it 2 years ago), and wiped off all the music that was on that. It currently says there's nothing on it BUT also says it's full. I'm not very happy with Apple at the moment!
The only device listed in iTunes is the iPad, dated as Xmas 2010. Should I remove that from there?
iTunes is ALWAYS set to "prevent automatic sync" because until now, I haven't had a device with sufficient capacity to put the whole library on to, so even if I had plugged the nano in, I would have had to have selected the whole library in order for this mysterious over-writing to have happened.
Answers, anyone?
Thanks in advance :-)

When iTunes removed the ping feature they replaced it with an internal check on feeds - based on the frequency of new episodes - so your feed may take a week or more to show up the changes.
http://www.nobodydanceshere.com/blog/feed/podcast/
Looking at your feed it is showing a last build date of 5/26/2012 - so the next time iTunes checks your feed it should update your info.
But since it has been since 2010 since your last update - you do need to wait a bit before iTunes checks your feed again.

How do I create a new playlist when all four options are not available

I'm running iTunes 11.1.5 under Mavericks 10.9.2. Because I have a very large music collection I keep it on an external drive. I have six recorded lectures I'd like to sync with my iPad. How do I create a new playlist based on the recordings on the external drive? All four New Playlist options are currently not selectable. I know it can be done because I've done it before years ago but have forgotten how.
Yes, I too wish iTunes were more coherent and less convoluted.
Appreciated.

Hi Try a Reboot press & hold power button & menu button hold both down until you see Apple Logo . Then go to music click on play list and try to make one. Cheers Brian

How can i get songs from my ipod to a new playlist?

can i not just drag and drop a song from my ipod to the title of the new playlist? it wont let me...so can you tell me how?
dell Windows XP

one way to can simply do this (if dragging and dropping won't work), is to simply put the songs that you would like in the playlist into the On-The-Go playlist in your iPod. Once you have put these songs into the On-The-Go folder (by highlighting the song and holding down the center button), simply plug the ipod back into your computer, and rename the folder with the songs in it. Hope this helps.

Ipod 5 wasn't updating new playlists. Removed all music from iPod and ended up with 34 GB of OTHER. How do I remove this without doing a full restore?

iPod 5 was not adding new playlists when synching (plenty of space remained in memory for it). This happened around the time of the new update. I removed all music from the iPod and when I went to resync the selected playlists, my OTHER portion of memory jumped up to 34GB and now there is not enough space on the iPod to put all my music back on.
I've checked the usage of all the apps and photos, etc, it is pretty clear this is because of the music portion only.
Is there anyway of removing this information? Without doing a restore? It is not jailbroken either.

An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.

What is "Other" and What Can I Do About It?
Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

I sync my iPad. Now everything is messed up playlists and music are gone. Weird stuff showed up. And now I can't find the option to delete or make new playlists. 6.1.2 is my newest version!! NEED HELP!!

So I don't sync my iPad very often. My dad and I share a computer. And I decided to do it the other day. I am pretty sure I did it all correctly selecting music that I wanted not deleting playlists but it seems to be that they are gone. And music I didn't want has appeared. And now I don't have an option (with this new iOS 6.1.2) to make new playlists or edit music I don't want out.
I know I need help figuring those two things out 1 how to make a play list. There isn't a "add" button anymore in that screen I have a "you have no playlist"with a button underneath that says "go to iTunes Store" why I would need the store for that, I do not know.
Then in the songs, artists, albums sections where you used to be able to hit "edit" button to delete the music you have that you don't want. I don't seem to be able to do anything at all to get rid of the random music I have.
I need help. I know my iPad fairly well but I am not super savvy with it either.

Is there a "New" button at the top right of the Playlists section of Music?
There is no Edit button to delete music, swipe sideways on the song to reveal the delete button. Tap and hold on the artwork in Artists and albums to reveal the (X) button to delete. Or connect the iPad back up to iTunes on the computer and check your sync settings for music to ensure you are syncing the right content.

How do I add a new playlist to my ipod using iTunes 11?

I recently was prompted to upgrad to iTunes 11, and while my immediate reaction is to hate it, I know I am just not used to it. My problem is that I cannot for the life of me figure out how to add a new playlist onto my ipod. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Sorry, for the late response..
When I click on the iPod, it would open a page where my only option was to "sync everything". And "Playlist" wasn't an option along the tabs at the top.
But I was able to open the sidebar, like the previous version of itunes and now am able to just drag and drop.
Thank you! I am much less frustrated now

How do I add a new playlist from itunes 11.0.0.163 to my iphone 4s?

Definitely not the same way as in previous versions.
It definnitely does.

Adding a new playlist in previous version was a quick drag and drop.
And it still is.
Enable the side bar by doing Cntrl + S.
Then drag and drop to your hearts content.
OR just enable syncing and select the items you desire to have synced, then sync.
